Iain Cowen, 34, appeared at Falkirk Sheriff Court last Thursday having admitted threatening behaviour – making threats of violence – at the Maniqui nightclub, Meadow Street, Falkirk on September 16 last year.

Procurator fiscal depute Rachel Hill said: “The accused has attended at the nightclub and is refused entry to his level of intoxication. He became aggressive to people standing outside the nightclub and called someone a slag.

"He then said ‘I will break your jaw and your boyfriend’s jaw’.”

When police officers caught up with him later he told them “I wasn’t acting in a threatening manner”.

Sheriff Christopher Shead noted Cowen, 2 Dunkeld Place, Falkirk, had two drink driving convictions in the same year and stated he may have a problem with alcohol.

Sentence was deferred until February 28.
